Vince Vaughn had some
“thankless” jobs in the past.
The Internship star didn’t
always have an exciting career to look forward to. Vince took on some bizarre
tasks before he made it in Hollywood.
“I spent one summer in
telemarketing in this unmarked building in Waukegan, Illinois,” he recalled to
People magazine.
“We were selling tickets for a
police rodeo. Looking back, I don’t know if there ever was a rodeo. Talk about
thankless.”
Vince also once protected
people’s lives for a living.
Unfortunately many of his
loved ones wouldn’t quite classify his job as life-saving.
“I was a lifeguard at the
YMCA, and one day there was a woman in the pool who was not a good swimmer and
started to slowly drift toward the deep end,” he said.
“So I got in the pool and just
lightly dragged her over to the shallow end. My boss said, ‘Congratulations on
your first save.’ When I told my dad, he said that there wasn’t anything ‘save’
about it. He took it off the big board, and rightfully so.”
The Internship hits cinemas
worldwide from this month.
The comedy also starring Owen
Wilson follows two floundering salesmen who compete against university students
for full-time employment during a summer internship programme at Google
headquarters. (Source)
